When fighting outdoor mobs on the Broken Isles (any zone), friendly NPCs such as Warden aid you in combat as a Legionfall Reinforcement. Buffs include Eye of the Kirin Tor and each buff changes based on the zone you are in.

Patch 7.2 Hotfixes

Blizzard

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Legion. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

Additional information about the expansion can be found below.

April 24

Hotfixes

Class Halls

Players who have unlocked multiple Challenge appearances for their Artifacts will no longer see more than one of them on top of each other in their Class Halls.

Items

Players should be able to transmogrify tabards to the appearance of the Legionfall Tabard.

Butcher’s Bone Apron should no longer provide a benefit that persists in unintended circumstances.

Player versus Player

Fixed a bug that was causing some players to become invulnerable in instanced PvP.

The quest now rewards a Soldier's Legacy Artifact Power token, 3 Marks of Honor, and a Brawler's Footlocker.

Quests

Corrine the Deceiver should now respawn as expected when killed on the quest “Cult Culling”.

Fixed a bug that was causing errors opening Stolen Crates during “Arming the Army”.

“Full Fel” now correctly awards quest credit.

Resolved issues where some Paladins were not able to obtain the letter starting the Maximillian questline.

A certain Escape Rope in a secret treasure cave is now easier to see. It’s dark in there!

WoW Arena Cup #2

You can sign up for the second WoW Arena cup now!

Blizzard

Cup #2 is on its way: seize the day! Signups are open and we’re waiting for YOU to show us your cunning strategies and hunger to win. The North America Qualifier Cup #2 will be broadcast live on Twitch, on Sunday May 14th at 11:00am PDT. Whether you’re competing, curious or just plain old crazy about esports—you can read up on entry requirements, prizes and community events below. Get involved!

All About Tournaments

The events are 3v3 Arena Tournaments on live realms.

There is a double-elimination bracket, so watch out!

Team rosters are 4-player, but you can sign-up with 3.

All series are best-of-5.

Tournament Mode is required; all gear is normalized and honor talents and artifact power are maximized

All About Prize Pools

1st place: $3,000, 160 points

2nd place: $1,500, 80 points

3rd place: $1,000, 36 points

4th place: $500, 20 points

5th and 6th places: 12 points each

All About Rosters

Didn’t finish in the top 6 in the first tournament? Not a problem! Teams can change their team members as often as they want, until points are earned. Once you have points on the board, your teams are set in stone. Well, except. . .

Teams who earn points are allotted one roster swap without consequences.

After the free swap, there is an automatic 50% reduction to your points tally.

Bracket play starts on the 10th, and plays through the 11th May (if a second day is needed).

The last 8 teams will be broadcast live on Twitch on Sunday, May 14th starting at 11:00am PDT.

We’re excited to partner-up with GCDTV, who will be helping us out with all that has to happen behind the scenes (which is a lot).

Want To Run Your Own Tournament?

We would love to see more of these! The more community involvement the better and there are some seriously solid reasons for doing it. Community-run tournaments directly impact which teams end up in the Arena World Championships, as all approved community-run events award points. If you’re interested, here’s what you should do: read the guide, fill out the application form and send in it to us. If you have any questions about running your own event, get in touch. We’re here to help and want you to create as many community events as it’s possible to have.

Anduin Cinematic

Blizzard

Having been keeping tabs on this over the weekend I realise my original post really missed the mark. In my haste to post the details we received about the intent of the Anduin cinematic I didn't really do a very good job of addressing the points (other than AP) that had come up in similar discussions on the internet. It wasn't my intent to come across as disregarding, mocking, sarcastic or anything of the sort with my original post. I'm sorry if it came across that way.

We definitely hear that Horde players would like to see more story development for their faction following the events of 7.0, and likewise we understand that players of both factions are hungry for more story development in general. Both of those points were also included in the feedback we collated and forwarded regarding this topic, and will continue to be included going forward.

WoW's current playerbase is so toxic and childish to where a mere non-mention is interpreted as, per the blue quote, "disregarding," "mocking," or even "sarcastic." I miss the old WoW playerbase where each realm felt like a real community that had pride in itself and guilds were groups of friends having fun playing the game. But that is something for the new playerbase to bring back, though currently they do not seem interested in doing so...

It is a little sad, but nobody has anyone to blame but themselves. We are ALL are "the playerbase" that you're talking about. YOU are included with the "toxic" "children". Perhaps if we actually tried to be helpful (or, at the very least, not just !@#$%^&s in game) we'd have a better experience. But nobody cares to do that in-game, just complain online about how people are toxic and unhelpful.

This is not something to be pushed off onto a new playerbase, it's something old timers need to pay attention to as well. Players from Vanilla are just as toxic (if not more so) than players who started in, say, Cata.

"This dungeon is also worth running for Orb of the Fel Temptress for Warlocks."

Considering the orb has been bugged ever since 7.2 launched and leaves you unable to summon a succubus at all, it really is not worth it.

What other story progress do the Horde need in Rise of the Banshee Queen?

Well it'd be nice to know what deal Sylvannas made with Helya, as well as get some closure regarding the whole "Valkyr" incident. Also be nice to get some more on Aethas, Jaina (not Horde, but what the hell has she been doing while we battle the Legion?), some interaction between the Highmountain and Mulgore Tauren, and it would even be nice to see some more of the Horde vs Alliance tension over the first Broken Shore failure. Speaking of continuation of stories, did we ever get any followup to the Titan/Ulduar thing other than a 5 minute quest at the start of Legion?

Gotta say I'm excited at the prospect of getting Wrathion back in the game. He was always an enigma (is he good? evil? how does he know so much?) and a very interesting character. Considering most of his quest chain in MoP was essentially him gaining power and warning us of the Legion invasion it's surprising that he hasn't appeared yet. I'm legit looking forward to some epic story between him and Ebonhorn.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. There are so many SJW "normie" gamers these days. It's depressing. I miss the old days when gamers were a bunch of funny nerds who didn't give a shizz if one's witto feelings got hurt and there was banter -o- plenty. LOL @ the person who responded to your post trying to put the blame weight on everyone's shoulders. That's nonsense. Yes, we are all members of the "wow community", but we are not all overly sensitive self-entitled crybabies. Full stop.

This is exactly the problem. People like you are the problem. All you do is complain about the "old days" and only promote the toxic childish behavior the OP mentioned. You can't even have an adult conversation about the state of the game and it's playerbase..

Here is something you'll understand: Stop crying and do something about it, crybaby.

Surely you see the difference between exhibiting toxic behavior in-game and lamenting the decline of the overall community on a forum about the game and its community. Those aren't the same thing, and the cure for the former is not the kind of tacit denial that forgoing the latter could amount to.

Additionally, just because all you see of someone is a post on a message board doesn't mean that's all they do, good or bad, within the game's community. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. But you can't knowingly say "all you do" to somebody you don't know, and the rush to judgment resembles the community's ailments more closely than anything else in this thread (other than the blatant name-calling, which I also don't endorse).

Fair enough, the "all you do" was (possibly) incorrect and (definitely) short sighted. That's my bad. However, note that the last part was said just so it was in a vernacular they can understand (hence the here's something you can understand part). Also, it also underscores how unhelpful that type of comment is and how it's all some people understand these days when talking about WoW. (I thought that would be clearer but I should have remembered that written comments aren't as clear as spoken ones due to lack of inflection and body language).

I do feel that complaining on Wowhead about toxic behavior as the OP did does nothing constructive. Pushing it off to the "new playerbase" isn't constructive.Just like the over-used "crybaby" that I hear so often now in comments on Wow-related sites (once again, my use of this type of comment was to show how little this accomplishes). Being nicer in-game is constructive (as an example). Answering questions in trade is helpful (another example). I can't even count the number of times I asked a quick question in trade and immediately get 2-5 trolls, lies, or "lol noob" responses.

And to be fair, my comments aren't going to change anything, either. I fully understand that. But I can't be silent when someone called the entire playerbase toxic and then takes 0 responsibility for a player base of which they are a part.

I think Sylvanas was meant to ally with Helya to take Odyn down so she could lay her filthy hands (I main Undead and am pissed off at her using the Forsaken solely with the intent of living forever, especially since she killed Nathanos' cousin just so she could shag him better) on his Valkyries. With Helya dead tho, I dunno if they'll continue with that storyline.

Yeah, I feel like Blizz is really dropping the ball with Wrathion. This was the perfect opportunity to bring him back with new cool quests, and nothing.

Also, no one cares about cows (they don't need interaction beyond what they already have), the deal with Helya was obvious (do the quests), Aethas is a loser, and we definitely need more Jaina.

Nooooo! I, like many others, hate Jaina so much!
